Chapter 671: For Indiana

Although a little setback was encountered in March, the overall pace of the Pacers is relatively smooth.
Of course, there is no way to compare with the Clippers last year, but the Pacers still played a very good record in late March and early April.
Li Liang started playing the Cavaliers six offenses that day and then stopped the task training in the system. He began to devote himself to the real game and began to make the final sprint for the playoffs.
Since this time, the Pacers have been advancing all the way. For almost a month, they have only lost two games.
This included the last game of the regular season, challenging the Grizzlies on the road, Bird directly let the team take a turn to remove Li Liang.
Li Liang himself is not willing to take a break, he likes to play.
As a result, Li Liang scored 34 points and the Pacers lost 4 points to the Memphis Grizzlies.
The Pacers finished the regular season of 2014-2015 with a 61-21 record.
Together with the Golden State Warriors in the west, they became the only two teams in the league to break 60 wins in the regular season. The Warriors created their best record in history, 66 wins and 16 losses.
This record is also ranked first in history.
However, the Warriors were beaten by the Pacers at home and away in the regular season.
Li Liang's team has won the regular season for three consecutive games and broke 60.
The 61 wins and 21 losses record also tied the Pacers' best record in history, which was created by the Pacers led by O'Neal, Artest and Miller in 2003-2004.
Before the official start of the playoffs, people are more concerned about who will spend the regular season MVP.
In the middle of the season, when the Warriors rode the dust, Stephen Curry took the regular season MVP almost to the point.
As a result, Li Liang exerted his strength in the second half, and under his leadership, the Pacers' record rose gradually, finally reaching 61 wins.
To be honest, 66 wins to 61 wins still do not have an absolute advantage.
The Celtics had 66 wins in 2008, but the MVP gave Kobe 57 wins.
Therefore, the attribution of MVP is not controversial.
However, considering that Li Liang won the MVP last year, it is mainly because the 70-win bonus is too large to be ignored.
This season "only" 61 wins, it is estimated that it is difficult to compete.
Li Liang didn't care much about MVP, he got it anyway, and the championship was more important.
After the last game, the Pacers team was involved in the pre-game preparations for the playoffs.
At present, the team's health is in good condition and the lineup is neat. At the same time, only two games have been lost in a month. The morale of the team is also very strong.
After the last game of the regular season of the entire 2014-2015 season, the rankings and match tables of the East and West came out.
The first in the Eastern Conference is the Pacers, who will face the eighth-ranked Boston Celtics in the first round.
This made Li Liang very unhappy, playing Boston in the first round, annoying, boring, boring, no gains.
Ranked second is the Atlanta Hawks that have risen this season. They have a 58-24 record.
Their opponent in the playoffs will be the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Cavaliers came in third, they got 56 wins and 26 losses, and like the Pacers in the backcourt.
The first round opponent is the Washington Wizards, James is still in the Cavaliers, but Arenas is no longer the Wizards.
This is James' third encounter with the Wizards in the first round of the playoffs.
The Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors met at the 4th and 5th positions.
The Raptors were very popular early in the season and once firmly occupied the top three positions in the East.
But in the middle and late of the season, he started to dilute all the way, and finally got only 48 wins, but it was enough to rank fifth in the east.
Placed in the west, this record is only ranked eighth.
Competition in the Western Conference playoffs is clearly more intense.
The Warriors held the first in the West, followed by the Clippers and Rockets, and the Trail Blazers ranked fourth in the division.
The Grizzlies and Spurs in fifth and sixth places are only one win away from the Rockets in third place.
The seventh-ranked Dallas Mavericks all have 50 wins, and the eighth is the Pelicans.
The Thunder with Durant and Westbrook failed to make the playoffs this year.
Kevin Durant decided to perform surgery in March and was directly reimbursed for the season.
For the Thunder, they should consider how to strengthen the team's lineup next season.
The Pacers' first game was scheduled for April 19th, and the players had a three-day break.
Li Liang didn't touch the system for three days and felt itchy.
But there is no way, he has to recuperate for the playoffs.
You don't have to be addicted to do tasks systematically.
Every time the task is completed, the rewards are immediate.
You think, the average person will only be effective after one or two years of fitness. Many people are addicted to it.
The rewards given by the system tasks are so fast, there are no side effects, the effect is good, can this be addictive?
Can women have system fun?
So Li Liang was really uncomfortable during these three days.
He participated in every daily training of the team on time. After the training, he continued to practice, and after the training, he went to the gym to continue training.
Bird looked strange, really strange, Bruce Lee, who was always late and left early or didn’t come on weekdays, what happened to these two days?
Mike Brown explained that this is Li Liang's routine operation, temporarily holding the Buddha's feet, leaving the gun sharp and unhappy.
After three days, on April 19, the playoffs of the 15th season finally opened.
For Li Liang, the playoffs are his stage.
...
On the other hand, for the Boston Celtics, their season task has been completed.
Entered the playoffs, exercised the team, and proved the ability of coach Stevens to coach.
It would be better if the Pacers would be a little more troubled in the playoffs.
The Celtics and Pacers met for the sixth time in the playoffs.
The first five encounters were 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004 and 2005.
Of these five encounters, the Celtics won the first three times and the Pacers won the last two.
Coupled with this sixth matchup, the playoff encounter between the two sides was in the first round of the playoffs.
Among them, the two teams met in the playoffs for three consecutive years in the early 21st century.
And the meeting in the first round has always proved that these two teams are good and I am not good, don't think everyone is good together.
This year is the Pacers occupy the first position, the Celtics became the next dog.
On the evening of April 19th, the playoff logo was printed on the floor of Conseco Arena.
Then in front of the technical desk, marked with 1 to 16 numbers.
Because from the first round to the finals, to win the championship will have to win 16 games.
Every time you win the next game, you will use a spray gun to drop a number. When 16 is dropped, the championship will be handed over.
Li Liang came to Conseco Arena early to tell the truth that the overall level of the eastern team is not good, but the atmosphere of the game is absolutely fanatical.
Maybe the people of Yincheng really don't have any special entertainment activities, and they put a lot of energy and enthusiasm into sports games.
People are late and leave early, the Conseco Arena is almost full more than an hour before the game starts.
Li Liang spent half an hour signing and taking photos with the little fans, and once again made a photo machine without emotion.
Many young fans ask, "Where are you going to go, Bruce?"
Li Liang is a little helpless~EbookFREE.me~I haven't left yet, you just ask me where to go next?
Are you a Pacers fan?
Are you a James fan?
"I don't know, I want to win a championship first, for Indiana."
"Then after winning the championship? Where are you going?"
Children don't care about you, they will get to the bottom and seek the answers they want to know.
Li Liang thought about it and said, "I will go where I need it."
That's right, I am Bruce Lee, a brick of the American basketball revolution, where I need to move.
Promote the balance of championships in professional basketball in the United States, narrow the gap between the rich and the poor in the number of champions, drive the championship first, then achieve the common championship...
Thinking of this, Li Liang feels that his ideals and practice are higher than those of the stars in history, and I don't know where it is going.
